Ultimates Annual #1

The Ultimates 2 Annual #1 arrives in 2005 as a king-sized showcase for the Ultimate Universe's premier super-team, with a Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary cover that packs in the full roster in dynamic fashion — a battle-ready Captain America lunges forward in the foreground, flanked by Nick Fury armed and intense, Iron Man's armor gleaming in gold and red, a tiny Ant-Man airborne above them, and a squad of reserve agents charging into the fray behind. Mark Millar and Steve Dillon — with colors by Paul Mounts — deliver "The Reserves," a story that puts this sprawling cast of heavy hitters and supporting players through their paces. If you've been following Ultimates 2, this annual is a welcome expansion of that world.
